You shouldn't buy a couch only because it looks good - some materials are pretty impractical.
High-maintenance materials don't let you relax, and you have to take care of them regularly.
Let's find out about the most impractical ones.
Silk
Silk is highly impractical for couches due to its high maintenance and vulnerability to damage.
It is sensitive to spills, stains, and sunlight, and it requires professional cleaning.
Velvet
Velvet tends to show wear and tear more quickly than other materials.
Velvet can easily get crushed or develop "nap" patterns from regular use, resulting in uneven texture and appearance.
It can also be challenging to clean, as spills can leave noticeable marks and require special care.
Suede
Suede is prone to staining, particularly by liquids and oils.
It can be difficult to clean, and certain cleaning methods may further damage the material.
Fur
Fur requires regular upkeep, including brushing to maintain its appearance.
Fur can also trap dust and allergens, making it less suitable for individuals with allergies.
Sheer or translucent materials
Couches made of sheer or translucent materials are often delicate and easily snagged or torn.
They can also be challenging to clean, as stains and spills can penetrate the fabric and be difficult to remove completely.
